The answer is 10x

This is because 5x is being multiplied by 2. We know this because parentheses are one of the several symbols of multiplication.

Even though 5 has an x attached to it you can just ignore it for now, multiply 2 to the 5 then just reattach the x at the end of your answer

Hope this helped!
